The Saltire of Scotland represents the cross that St Andrew, the patron saint, was supposedly executed on. The cross appeared as a crowd formation in the sky in the 6th century (or thereabouts) when a Pictish king was facing an English invasion. The Picts won that battle and adopted the cross - according to legend anyway.
